Gingrich reminds voters how much he prays

During the final days before Tuesday’s Iowa primary elections, Newt Gingrich told Christian voters he prays “before virtually every speech and virtually every major decision,” ABC News reported.

Gingrich, a convert to Catholicism, is courting Iowa’s evangelicals who make up about half of GOP primary voters in the state.

Despite discussion around how his personal background, including two divorces, would sit with evangelicals, very few Republican voters say his relationship history has anything to do with their view of him as a candidate, according to a survey by the Public Religion Research Institute.

Gingrich’s favorability among 60 percent of Republican voters is about the same as Mitt Romney’s, at 63 percent, the survey found.

From ABC News:

I’ve been very clear publicly I’m not a perfect human being and I’ve made mistakes in my life and I’ve had to apologize to God and to seek reconciliation,” Gingrich told a self-proclaimed evangelical lady during the question and answer portion of a town hall in Atlantic, Iowa, who asked if he could win the evangelical vote.
